PREFATORY   NOTE 

The  purpose  of  this  volume  is  to  furnish  a  guide  to  the  economic  material  contained 
in  the  printed  reports  of  administrative  officers,  legislative  committees,  and  special 
commissions  of  the  State  of  Maine  and  in  the  messages  of  the  governors  to  the  legis- 
lature of  that  state.  The  present  volume  will  be  followed  by  others,  each  devoted  to  a 
single  state.  The  work  when  completed  will,  therefore,  furnish  an  index  to  the  economic 
material  in  the  reports  and  governors'  messages  of  all  the  states  of  the  Union. 

The  index  undertakes  to  deal  only  with  the  printed  reports  of  administrative 
officers,  legislative  committees,  and  special  conmiissions  of  the  states  and  with  gover- 
nors' messages  for  the  period  since  1789.  It  does  not  refer  to  constitutions,  laws, 
legislative  proceedings  or  court  decisions,  except  in  so  far  as  they  happen  to  be  found 
in  the  class  of  documents  above  mentioned.  It  attempts,  on  the  other  hand,  to  furnish 
a  list,  as  complete  as  possible,  of  all  the  documents  and  messages  which  fall  within  its 
scope,  in  whatever  form  they  may  have  been  i^ublished,  whether  separately,  in  collected 
documents,  legislative  journals  or  volumes  of  laws,  and  to  indicate  the  volume  in 
which  they  may  be  found.  Unless  otherwise  indicated  the  material  indexed  is  in  the 
New  York  Public  Library.  In  some  cases  reference  is  made  to  reports  and  messages 
prior  to  1789,  and  to  publications  other  than  public  documents  which  it  was  felt  would 
be  helpful  to  those  likely  to  use  the  index.  Although  these  have  been  included  no  claim 
to  completeness  is  made  except  in  the  case  of  the  documents  and  messages  since  1789. 
In  addition  to  furnishing  a  list  of  reports  and  messages,  the  index  undertakes  to 
supply  a  reference  by  volume  and  page  to  all  material  of  economic  importance  which 
they  contain,  with  the  exception  of  that  contained  in  the  reports  of  l^ureaus  of  labor. 
The  reason  for  this  exception  is  that  these  reports  have  already  been  indexed  by 
Carroll  D.  Wright,  late  United  States  Commissioner  of  Labor,'  in  a  volume  published 
by  his  department  in  1902.  Although  the  index  is  confined  to  matter  of  economic 
importance  the  term  "  economic  "  has  been  given  a  broad  interpretation  and  it  is 
believed  that  the  index  will  constitute  a  useful  addition  to  the  resources  of  students 
of  almost  any  aspect  of  American  history. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  present  index  differs  both  in  scope  and  character  from 
R.  R.  Bowker's  "  State  Pulilications,"  the  valuable  pioneer  work  in  this  field.  It  is 
narrower  in  scope  than  "  State  Publications  "  which  aims  to  present  a  list  not  only  of 
reports  and  governors'  messages  but  of  all  state  documents;  but  in  the  field  which  the 
present  work  covers  it  contains  not  only  a  more  complete  list  of  documents  than  has 

•Index  of  all  reports  issued  by  bureaus  of  labor  statistics    in   the   U.    S.    prior   to    Mch.    1,    1902.     Wash.,   1902.

liitlierto  been  i^ublislied  but  also  an  index  of  their  contents  in  so  far  as  these  have  an 
economic  bearing. 

Each  vokinie  is  divided  into  two  parts.  Part  I  contains  references  to  general 
sources  of  information  and  descriptive  matter  arranged  according  to  the  character  of 
the  publication.  Part  II  contains  references  to  particular  series  of  reports,  and  par- 
ticular topics,  arranged  alphabetically.  The  references  under  each  topic  are  divided 
into  two  groups,  viz.,  "  serial  "  and  "  non-serial."  Within  each  of  these  divisions  the 
arrangement  is  chronological.  Anyone  desiring  information  on  any  particular  topic 
will,  therefore,  look  for  that  topic  in  its  alphabetical  order  in  Part  II.  Numerous 
cross-references  will,  it  is  hoped,  make  it  possible  to  discover  with  little  difficulty  all  the 
material  bearing  on  that  topic. 

Uniform  entry  words  for  subjects  recurring  in  different  states  will  be  retained 
throughout  the  series.  It  will  thus  be  possible  to  make  a  study  not  only  of  the  historical 
development  of  an  economic  subject  as  reflected  in  the  documents  of  an  individual  state 
but  also  to  make  a  comparative  study  of  that  develoi^ment  as  it  has  taken  place  in  the 
coimtry  at  large.  To  accomplish  this  purpose  it  has  been  necessary  to  make  the  selec- 
tion of  entry  words  without  reference  to  the  peculiarities  of  local  usage,  such  peculi- 
arities being  recognized  in  the  case  of  each  state  by  cross-references.  The  abbreviations 
employed  are  believed  to  be  sufficiently  obvious  to  make  a  table  of  them  unnecessary. 
Unless  othermse  stated  the  size  of  the  books  is  octavo. 


There  stiU  exists  some  vagueness  concerning  the  early  printing  of  the  official  publi- 
cations of  Maine,  more  particidarly  concerning  that  done  diu'ing  the  time  when  Portland 
was  the  seat  of  govermnent,  viz.,  from  1820  to  1831.  That  no  annual  reports  were  pub- 
lished prior  to  1822  there  is  Little  room  for  doubt.  All  the  printing  was  done  under, 
and  specified  by  legislative  resolve.  With  the  exception  of  those  acts  providing  for  the 
printing  of  the  laws  and  statutes,  and  the  resolve  of  March  19,  1821,  providing  for  the 
printing  of  the  militia  act,  the  only  authorized  printing  was  that  of  the  public  notices. 
The  governor's  message  is,  by  statute,  required  to  be  made  a  part  of  the  Acts  and 
Resolves.  A  copy,  in  pamphlet  form,  of  the  message  for  1820  is  in  the  Harvard  Col- 
lege Library  and  in  the  New  York  Public  Library,  The  act  of  January  30,  1822, 
made  it  the  duty  of  the  treasm-er  annually  to  lay  before  the  legislatui-e  "  a  printed 
detailed  accoimt  of  the  treasury  "  (italics  compiler's).  The  earliest  printed  copy  found 
is  that  for  1827.  In  his  message  of  January,  1827,  Governor  Lincoln  says:  "  The 
particular  facts  relative  to  this  subject  (i.  e.  state  finances)  will  appear  in  the  Annual 
Treasury  Report."  The  report  referred  to  is  the  report  for  1826,  and  from  this  matter 
of  course  reference  to  it,  it  would  not  be  unreasonable  to  infer  that  earlier  treasury 
reports  were  not  imknown  at  that  time.  A  copy  of  the  land  agent's  reports  for  1825  and 
1828,  respectively,  is  in  the  Harvard  College  Library.  A  copy  of  the  "  Laws  in  rela- 
tion to  the  education  of  youth,"  1826,  is  in  the  New  York  Public  Library.  The  Maine 
State  Library  has  two  boirnd  voliunes  labeled  "  Comicil  docmnents,"  1829  and  1830,

respectively,  containing  those  reports  customarily  bound  in  the  collected  documents  of 
the  states.  These  are  the  only  two  years  for  which  the  documents  were  collected  during 
the  time  in  which  Portland  served  as  the  seat  of  government. 

Soon  after  the  removal  to  Augusta,  provision  was  made  for  collecting  the  docu- 
ments, and  it  is  an  open  question  whether  the  dociunents  for  1829  and  1830  were  not 
brought  together  under  the  impulse  of  this  act  rather  than  during  the  years  for  which 
they  are  dated.  Leaving  aside,  then,  the  governor's  message  of  1820  and  the  militia  act 
of  1821,  the  only  report  for  the  period  before  1827  which  up  to  this  time  has  been  found, 
in  pamphlet  form,  is  the  land  agent's  report  for  1825.  After  1827  and  to  the  year  of 
removal,  there  have  been  found,  of  the  regular  reports,  the  treasurer's  reports  beginning 
1827,  the  prison  reports  beginning  1829,  and  the  bank  abstract,  beginning  1829.  Almost 
without  exception,  it  is  found  that  the  reports  for  the  years  1830  and  1831  have  dis- 
appeared. It  was  deemed  to  be  without  the  province  of  this  analysis  to  discover  just 
what  bearing  the  long  political  struggle  in  Maine  between  federalists  and  republicans, 
during  these  years,  had  on  the  non-appearance  or  the  disappearance  of  the  documents 
of  this  time.    In  1832  the  seat  of  government  was  removed  from  Portland  to  Augusta. 

Early  in  the  year  1833  the  legislature  passed  a  resolve  ordering  the  clerk  of  the 
House  to  retain  twenty  copies  of  every  document  printed  by  order  of  either  branch  of 
the  legislature,  and  at  the  end  of  the  session  to  cause  the  same  to  be  bound  for  the 
use  of  the  legislature.  The  first  volume  under  this  resolve  appeared  in  1833,  and  con- 
tains the  customary  departmental  and  miscellaneous  reports  for  the  year  1832.  There 
is,  from  this  year,  no  break  in  the  continuity  of  the  collected  documents  or  in  that  of 
the  departmental  reports,  save,  in  the  latter  case,  that  occasional  lapse  found  in  all 
files  of  state  documents.  Such  omissions  are  noted,  in  the  present  compilation,  under 
the  several  headings  where  entries  of  these  reports  occur. 

Prefixed  to  the  index  for  each  state  will  be  foimd  a  list  of  the  volumes  of  collected 
documents  and  journals  of  the  state.  To  each  vokmie  a  serial  number  has  been  given, 
on  the  same  plan  and  for  the  same  reason  which  has  made  the  serial  number  helpful  as 
applied  to  federal  documents.

No  public  documents  were  collected  prior  to  1829  and  none  were  coHected  for  1831  or  1832.  The  earliest  printed 
Senate  journal  is  that  of  1854.  No  Senate  journal  was  printed  for  1855,  1859,  or  1862.  The  earliest  printed  House 
journal  is  that  of  1855.     No  House  journal  was  printed  for  1859,  1862,  1863,  or  1864. 

The  public  documents  of  some  of  the  earlier  years  may  be  found  sometimes  bound  in  one  volume  as  indicated, 
sometimes  in  two  volumes.  Libraries  having  them  in  the  latter  form  will  need  to  add  volume  number  to  the  serial 
number. 

Volume  three  of  the  public  documents  of  ISSO  relates  to  election  frauds  and  is  not  commonly  found.

DESCRIPTIVE  MATERIAL 


LEGISLATIVE  MANUAL 

1865-1869.     Me.  legislative  manual.     Augusta,  1SG5-1869. 

Also  la  Public  docs.   1865-1860. 
1870-1871.     Me.  state  political  manual  and  ann.  register, 
compiled  by  E.  S.  Hoyt.     Portland,  n.  d.  12". 

Not   in    I'ubiic   docs.      These   are    tlio    lirst    two    issues 
of   the   present   Me.   register.      The   publication   did 
not    receive    official    recogniton    until    1ST2,    when 
it  was  first  included  In  the  Public  docs. 
Title  changes   to  : 

1872/3-1S8G/7.  Me.  state  yrbk.;  compiled  by  E.  S.  Hoyt. 
Portland,  n.  d.    8°. 

1872/3-1878/9;  also  in  Public  docs.  1872-1878;  1SS3/4 
in  same  1S83 ;  1886/7  in  same  1886 ;  others  not 
in  Public  docs.  1873/4  is  the  first  issue  bearing 
the  announcement  "  Prepared  pursuant  to  orders 
of  the  legislature." 
Title  changes   to  : 

1887/8-1904/5.  Me.  register,  or  state  yrbk.  and  legisla- 
tive manual;  compiled  by  G.  M.  Donham.  Port- 
land, 1887-1905. 

1887/8-1800/1   also  In   Public  docs.    1887-1800:    1803/4 
in  same  1803,  thereafter  omitted  from  Public  docs. 

STATE  PAPER 

(Portland  seat  of  govt.) 

1820-1832.  No  paper  seems  to  have  been  designated  in 
1820  or  1821.  The  Eastern  Argus,  then  a  semi- 
wkly.,  was  established  as  state  paper  by  resolves  of 
1822,  1823,  and  1831. 

(Augusta  seat  of  govt.) 

1833-1904.  From  1833-1854  The  Age  served  as  state 
paper;  in  1855  the  Kennebec  Journal,  then  a  tri- 
wkly.,  was  the  official  organ;  in  1856  The  Age  sevyed 
as  the  state  paper,  and  from  1857  to  1904  the  Ken- 
netec  Journal  has  been  the  official  paper.  Very 
soon  after  the  removal  of  the  seat  of  govt,  the  legis- 
lative proceedings  were  recorded  with  some  full- 
ness in  the  official  organ,  and  as  early  as  1854  it 
was  the  custom  to  print  discussions  and  debates 
almost  verbatim.  As  no  journals  were  printed  be- 
fore 1854,  the  state  paper  becomes  the  official  record 
of  legislative  proceedings.
